Maria Knebel is one of theatre studies' missing links; a student of and later assistant to Stanislavsky, and a colleague of Michael Chekhov's, she was instrumental in promoting their theories of acting via her teaching. Action Analysis combines her two books, 'The Verb in the Art of an Actor' and 'Action Analysis of the Play and the Role' in an edition conceived by Knebel's most famous student, the renowned director Anatoli Vassiliev. This is the first English translation of an important and authoritative fragment of the great Stanislavsky jigsaw. A landmark publication. | Active Analysis by Maria Knebel, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
